Series 3 significantly brighter than Series 9 - eviltoast

Hey, I just got a Series 9 after upgrading from a Series 3. I hoped that after 6 years Apple provided an option to finally turn off that godforsaken auto-brightness, but it seems they somehow made it worse. At least in dark surroundings. In sunlight it’s obviously bright and brighter than the 3, but this is ridiculous. Is this a bug supposed to be fixed in a future software update? Please tell me it is…
